L'Arnsbourg sur Baerenthal

We are taking the tour, and your establishment was part of our selection. Very nice establishment, service a little too sustained. Cook a little bit... it lacks the dynamism to want to relive the experience.

Great place, very good food, excellent staff. To recommend.

Excellent dinner at a professional evening! I would like to salute the entire team for the quality of the meal and the management of the guests!

The magic of the location and the excellence of the cuisine offered took us on a journey to wonderland. 💯 percent recommended.

Simply perfect. We go there regularly and the observation is clear: from the atmosphere to the service and of course the food, it's extraordinary. Go there with your eyes closed. One of the best restaurants, if not the best.

We discovered this place thanks to the “stars of Alsace”, we had a young formula and everything was really great and pleasant. The place is superb, the service attentive and the dishes refined and surprising!

Our second visit after many years. We are generally looking for excellent Michelin star food and French wine. The hotel and it's surroundings are absolutely beautiful. It's a super calm place. Hide yourself within the beauty of the forest. The very warm welcome led to a beautiful (classic) room of superb quality. We really enjoyed the room and the warm and friendly staff. Wherever you look it's of best quality and design. Great! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with all its precious details. Unfortunately the dinner did not meet our expectations. We are frequent visitors of Michelin star restaurants all over Europe as this is with 90% guarantee the way to find outstanding cooks. In L'Arnsbourg there is the special situation where a 3 stars service meets a below 1 star cook. That said, the service was outstanding from all parts of the friendly team. We were a little irritated to find Oyster, Octopus, Tuna and Homard within the beauty of Northern Alsace. Today's successful Michelin star chefs usually focus on authentic and local ingredients, wonderful variety of textures and intense aromatics. We could not find one of this within the menu. Many dishes were nicely arranged but did not taste at all. The oyster (which comes as a standard) I got was disappointing. Please skip this senseless dish and do some local surprise from the forest. We felt the cook failed to work out the specialities of each dish. In my opinion standard Tuna (which does usually not have any taste) is a way to surrender. Mackerel (Alsace?) was ok but bit boring, Fois gras quite good, duck not more than usual, no crunch, medium soft. The wine list is interesting, but in my opinion very overpriced. Hard to find good wines outside Alsace varieties below €150,-. The typical Alsace wines character did not match the menu at all. 170 Euros for a 45 Euro (amazing!) Condrieu? Well, it's your decision..... In today's time, many French Michelin star restaurants are focused on very good wines around 60-120 Euro. Wines above € 100,-, also in France, are hard to sell. Keep this in mind to be successful with 1 Michelin star. Finally the simple deserts were pure sugar and disappointing. Strawberry with Olive, nice to read, tasted like marmelade without any olive note. Hey guys, you don't serve meringue in 2024 anymore /-)? This is from 2000 and before. Over all I come to the conclusion that the cook (which did not show up) is of very traditional old school cooking style. I found many parts of the menu to be outdated in modern times. Lacks of taste and especially texture varieties. Again, service and hotel are excellent! But you probably won't travel to L'Arnsbourg for standard holidays. I wish you great success for the future with a young and fully focused cook to meet clients expectations. Your beautiful house is definitely worth it!!

Very nice atmosphere in a great building, the view of the garden is a dream, the service was extremely friendly and A attentive. The taste of the food didn't impress us; the variety of flavors that you would expect from a star restaurant was missing. We also found it a shame that there weren't enough regional things on offer (no sparkling wine from Alsace, tuna and lobster... a shame

Je précise avant que nous avons l’habitude des restaurants étoilés et que cette fois-ci nous y étions dans le cadre d’un coffret cadeau (299€). Nous avons donc découvert ce magnifique endroit calme et reposant. Une décoration moderne et épurée. Le personnel est au petit soin et très agréable. Une carte des vins généreuse mais trop chère. Notre menu proposé pour cette occasion était parfait à notre goût pour passer une agréable soirée. Tous les plats (bouchées)  servis sont délicieux …mais nous avions toujours l’espoir qu’à un moment nous allions avoir un « vrai plat » . Mais non ! le ris de veau (excellent !) ça sera trois bouchées, trois trainées de purée et 6 cubes (1cm) de navets. Bref heureusement que le pain est très bon ! Et ça ne s’arrange pas pour le dessert. Bref un sentiment mitigé avec une frustration énorme d’avoir reçu un menu « amuse bouche » pour 299€ + 100€ boissons Est-ce que c’est l’effet menu coffret cadeau ? Je suis conscient que dans un restaurant étoilé les normes sont différentes mais il y a des limites à ne pas dépasser.

Notre troisième passage et toujours autant satisfaits. Et nous y retournerons. Restaurant Personnel agréable, compétent, professionnel, discret. Produits frais, bien préparés, cuisine excellente. Hôtel Chambre spacieuse, agréable. Calme assuré. Excellent petit déjeuner
